Buying something used is often a good value. Cars, guitars, video games, survivalist gear from the recently deceased … your list may vary.

But a used pregnancy test?

Believe it or not, they are not only for sale, but people are snapping them up for $40.

The Daily Dot ask the question you have already formulated in your head: Why?

One seller in Buffalo said when she became pregnant she was asked for a positive pregnancy test. The requests starting piling up so she began selling them on Craigslist.

“I don’t care what you use it for. It’s not my business,” says the seller.

It’s a good thing gun and alcohol manufacturers don’t have the same policy.

A woman seeking a positive tests in Dallas spelled it out. She said she needed a positive test to "have the last laugh" against her husband, who had gotten his receptionist pregnant. She was "willing to give some girl $40."

Another seller said you could use the test to “make your boyfriend pop the question” or “play a trick on your parents.”

Sounds fun doesn’t it!
